About

Most startups don't fail because of the technology. They struggle because they haven't found product-market fit, built a repeatable go-to-market motion, or turned early traction into predictable revenue.That's where I come in.I work with founders and leadership teams to bridge the gap between product and revenue. From validating product-market fit and defining an ideal customer profile to building GTM strategy, sales motions, pricing, partnerships, teams, and scalable revenue engines, I help companies go from great technology to commercial success.Over the past 15+ years, I've helped SaaS and AI companies launch new markets, build high-performing sales organizations, secure strategic partnerships, close enterprise customers, and scale revenue across North America, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM. I've worked with startups building their first repeatable sales motion as well as growth-stage companies looking to accelerate expansion.Areas I advise on include:• Product-market fit validation• Go-to-market strategy• Revenue growth and sales leadership• Pricing and packaging• P&L ownership and financial management• Founder-led sales coaching• Enterprise sales• Outbound, inbound, and demand generat
